1.2  Our acceptance of Your Order will take place when we email your Order Confirmation at which point a Contract will come into existence between You and Us.

1.3  Your Order Confirmation contains all the details of the Service you have ordered which We agree to supply to You, how long the Minimum Period of the Contract is and the Charges payable by You.

1.4  The length of the Minimum Period is shown on your Order Confirmation, starting from the Service Start Date. You must keep and pay for the Service for the whole of the agreed Minimum Period unless You or We are permitted in this Contract to terminate it earlier.  

1.5  You have the right to cancel Your Order by contacting Our customer service team on help@1310.io within 14 days from the day after the day on which you receive your Order Confirmation. You must put your request in writing. 

1.6  If We have already started to provide the Service then You will be responsible to pay Us the costs We have incurred in preparing to and undertaking the works involved to provide the Service up until the point You notify Us of the  termination, including the Cancellation Charges (if applicable). If You cancel the Contract within the cooling-off period and We’ve provided you with a Router, the Contract won’t end until you’ve returned the Router to Us.  The following will also apply:

a) You must return the Router which you have been provided within 14 days of terminating your order using the pre-paid packaging We provide to You. You will be responsible for the costs of returning the Router;

b) If You don’t return the Router within 14 days, We will charge You for any non-returned Router, the cost of which is set out in the Price List;

c) You must keep the Router that We have provided to you safe until it is returned. You may have to pay for any loss in value as a result any damage You cause.

 

2. Installation

2.1  We will agree with You a date for installation or delivery of the Router and/or Equipment or activation of the Service.  We will try and keep to this date, but We may have to change the installation, delivery or activation date. We will agree with You any such changes as soon as We can and let You know of the next available date.

2.2 You agree that You or a person authorised by You (who is 18 or over) will be present when We install the Equipment and the Service at Your address.  Unless a bespoke installation applies as in clause 2.4, We will try Our best to install the Equipment and the Service in accordance with the Installation Guide.

2.3 If You do not allow the installation team to access the Property as arranged (and You do not have a good reason for this) the installation may be cancelled by Us and You must pay Us the costs that We have incurred in preparing to and undertaking the works involved to provide the Service up until the point of cancellation.

2.4  There are bespoke projects which have specific requirements because of the length of the access route, drives or surfaces which require special techniques to dig and re-instate. Non-standard installations are outside the scope of Our free installation service and will require a separate on-site visit by an installation technician who will prepare a written estimate of the installation cost. We will discuss the installation cost with You before the installation commences.   If You agree to go ahead with the installation, the installation charges will be confirmed to You in writing and once the network is installed then the Service can be delivered to you according to your Order. The agreed installation charge will be taken as part of Your first monthly payment.

2.5 For health and safety purposes Our installation technician will carry out a risk assessment before installing the Service.  If the technician decides that it is not possible to carry out the installation safely, or if there is no one over the age of 18 present at the Property, You will be informed and given the opportunity to make alternative arrangements.

2.6 The installation technician will do everything possible to achieve the installation at the arranged time, but if it is not possible to continue with the installation because of safety issues, the complexity or the materials required, the technician will inform Us and will ask You to confirm your acceptance that a further appointment will be required. We may charge you reasonable costs incurred by Us as a result if the reason for the installation not going ahead is due to Your actions. If we are unable to contact You or re-arrange access to your address we may end the Contract.

2.7  By ordering and requesting installation of our Service, you agree that the Equipment placed on the Property  with Your permission will remain irrespective of whether You or anyone who purchases the Property takes Services from Us.
